New York, NY - (Market Wire) - 06/29/2005 - There's no stopping multi-platinum rockers Simple Plan as
they continue to trek across the globe in support of their certified platinum sophomore album "Still Not Getting Any..." The album, which has sold over 1.2 million copies in
the U.S., has consistently remained in the Billboard Top
100 since release on October 26, 2004.

Fresh off their North American tour with Good Charlotte
and dates with Green Day, Simple Plan are one of the
most recent additions to the historic Live 8 lineup. The
band will appear at the July 2nd Toronto event, featuring Motley Crue, Bryan Adams, Barenaked Ladies, Neil Young and Our Lady Peace. The all-star concert marks the 20th anniversary of the legendary Live Aid concert, which is dedicated to raising money and awareness for Africa
and making poverty history.

"It's a huge honor for us to be invited to perform at Live 8 in Toronto, in our home country, Canada," said Simple Plan drummer Chuck Comeau. "We're extremely proud to be
part of such an important event that will be remembered for years to come. It's amazing that so many great artists are
all coming together to raise awareness about the problems that the people of Africa are facing. Live 8 is a great chance for young people, who often feel disenfranchised with the political process, to realize that their voice is important and that their opinion matters. By showing up to all these
shows, music fans are sending a strong message that cannot be ignored. We're all really stoked to be part of
history and we can't wait to rock Toronto!"
